Charity developing database needs needs a friendly brain to pick.

[Slats]

Greetings to all and sundry.

I am writing on behalf of Nexus, a not-for-profit social research co-operative in Dublin, Ireland. We work with a range of organisations, mainly in helping them to evaluate and plan their work. We have developed systems and structures to facilitate this, and are now starting to develop an access based system toward this. This will assist groups such as:

- Refuges for women fleeing domenstic violence.
- Citizens Information Networks.
- Local Employment Services.
- Older persons support groups.

I am trying to develop this system (its probably relatively basis compared to what most of you do) but am having difficulties as I am a social researcher by trade rather than a programmer. I would really appreciate it if anybody out there would be willing to answer the odd question now and then. I can offer nothing in return except a day at the races and a few pints if you ever come to Ireland.

For example, at the moment I am trying to set up MS Sliders as an input mechanism on the forms, but can't seem to figure out how to cause moving the slider to change the appropriate field value. I'm sure it's a simple 'on exit' macro. As you can see, a little of your time could save a lot of mine.

Best Regards to all,

David,
You could use the Change Event. This does not show up in the Properties box, you need to open the Form module, then select the Slider control's name from the left dropdown (at the top-left of the form module), then at the right dropdown are all the rest of the events you can use.

So in the Change event, it's simply:
me.textbox = me.Slidername.value
